Docker support #55

Closed pirelenito closed 6 years ago

Awesome project!

Does it make sense to support starting Chrome via Docker? It would allow us to use navalia to start the same Chrome rendering on both our local machines (using MacOS) and our integration environment (Travis + Linux).

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, Chrome inside docker makes a lot of sense. I've seen a few Dockerfiles floating around that do this, the issue is keeping them running. There's also a lot of other stuff you have to setup in order for it to "just work" (fonts and so forth).

I don't have a great answer at this point other than I'm working on a SaaS product that does all of the above and some more (logging, replay, and so forth). Probably not the answer you're looking for, but hopefully gives you some perspective.

FWIW I now have a separate repo for docker here: https://github.com/joelgriffith/browserless
